Input Shaft Bearing Assembly

An input shaft bearing assembly is pressed into the front case
of the transaxle. The assembly consists of the bearing housing,

bearing, and seal. The seal prevents transmission fluid leakage
into the clutch disc area. Individual components are not  service-

able, if any of the components fail the entire assembly must
be replaced. The clutch release bearing rides on the smooth
round surface of the retainer during clutch operation. Grease
is not required on the retainer where the release bearing rides.

Input Shaft Assembly
The input shaft transmits engine torque to the trans-
axle. The assembly consists of the input shaft, 3-4

First, second and reverse gears are machined on

shaft gears. The speed gears all have clutch teeth

the shaft. Third, fourth and fifth speed gears ride

and cones, which are used to equalize shaft speeds

on caged needle bearings that rotate on the shaft

during shifts. The clutch teeth engage with the syn-

journals. All of the forward gears are helical-type

chronizer sleeves and the cones engage with the

gears, and are in constant mesh with the output

stop rings during a shift.
